The delta-theory of Katz is applied to charge calibration of cosmic ray particle in nuclear emulsion using particle spectra obtained by photometric track width measurements of selected samples of tracks in emulsion stacks exposed to cosmic radiation in a high altitude balloon flight. Measurements were made with photometric technique on nuclei in the charge interval magnesium to nickel. With two parameters of the theory determined by a fit to experimental data it is possible to obtain theoretical charge scales which agree with experimental ones. An attempt is made to expand the theory down to the carbon-oxygen region.
